The part of Eccles in Coronation St was played by Tess, Phi and Maeve, between 2007 and 2010.  The first major scenes  for the Eccles character were initially shown on 26th Jan 09. It was a Border Terrier Bonanaza with all three 'Eccles' being shown on the one night, friends and family who know the dogs managed to spot which dogs appeared where.
